No more G4 for Directv members, which is me. But they had live E3. The channel is on its way out.

DirecTV officially drops G4

“At this time we are no longer negotiating and we have no plans to put G4 back up. We are constantly evaluating our lineup in a new world where programming costs continue to rise at significant rates. Since G4 is among the lowest rated networks based on the latest Nielsen data, we decided that it made sense to focus on preserving programming that is more relevant to our larger customer base.” - DirecTV rep

It's not often that you see a lowly-rated network get dropped from a lineup for a cable/satellite provider. The network usually gets canned altogether. You have to wonder if the network has just started a slippery slope into obscurity now... Thanks to Dinofan for the heads up!

I wonder who owns G4? It could be higher level negotiations where G4 is offered as a package of channels to DirecTV.  But yeah, going to be even more difficult for G4 to get advertsiers now.

Crytek UK is talking with various publishers about the possibility of creating a brand new TimeSplitters game, Eurogamer can reveal.

...

So what's the verdict on the Timesplitters games guys? I never played 1, but I heard that in hindsight, it's not so good? I got 2 and 3. Liked 2 a lot, didn't like 3 very much.

Three was the best, they fixed the targetting (which to me felt laggy in the first one).  They had cool bots and design a level, the game tiself was the perfect level of difficulty (challenging while still fun) and the game exhibited a sense of humor.

It was why Haze was such a dissapointment to me.

I found the single player levels of the 3rd game to be too linear and too easy.

Blood Stone and Goldeneye on the same day. I much rather play Blood Stone.

You have faith in Bizaare Creations? They are good at driving games but their only other games are Geometry Wars and the third person games, Fur Fighters and The Club.

That dashboard article is nothing more than a lame ploy to generate clicks.

Hey, Mo Fo's.

First Captain America and Tin Tin movie pics here.

Cliffy B. talks about what the future of consoles might be like

Cliffy B. said:

"The next generation of video game consoles might just be things that are like the iPad, where you take your pad with you and when you're at the pub you can play a simpler version of the game and then when you bring it to the house you plug it in a docking station and it pops up on your large TV and you take your traditional controller and you play the more traditional game. And then this connects to people's mobile phones so you have maybe a social element; and you do whatever you can to create what is essentially a second life for users who want to seek out that fantasy world and experience."

Noooooo!!!!

In my head I rewound the following part and played it forward and then rewound and played it forward over and over again.

"...the iPad...you take your pad with you and when you're at the pub..."

STOP THE TAPE, what did he say?

What kind of pub is that?  I think he must have meant to say "hairdresser".

Who?

Not exactly promising for Sonic or Kinect that quote.

So you are moving onto ad hominem now?

No reviews yet for Goldeneye Wii? Bad sign?

I'm probably not going to pick this up after all, not because there are no reviews but because I have no one to play online with.

And I have a feeling the single player will be less than 8 hours long, which won't be worth it.

^ I want all that.
